Common situations we help Green Card holders with

You have accounts, a pension, or investments back home

You have accounts, a pension, or investments back home

A bank account, pension, or investments from your home country need to be reported alongside your US return. Many Green Card holders are surprised by how much of their financial life back home qualifies.

You live outside the US – or only recently found out a return was due

You live outside the US – or only recently found out a return was due

You moved abroad and assumed the obligation paused. Or a bank letter arrived, a friend mentioned it, a financial adviser flagged it – and the US worldwide income rule appeared on your radar for the first time.

You've been filing, but you're no longer confident everything is covered

You've been filing, but you're no longer confident everything is covered

You've kept up with your US taxes – but between FBARs, foreign investment accounts, and circumstances that have changed year to year, you're not sure the filings have been complete.

You're self-employed, or you have income from a business back home

You're self-employed, or you have income from a business back home

Freelance contracts, a company you own abroad, directorship income, or foreign dividends – each adds reporting complexity to your tax filings as a Green Card holder.

Your circumstances are changing and you need your US filings current

Your circumstances are changing and you need your US filings current

Whether you're pursuing US citizenship, preparing to return home, or making a significant immigration change – a complete, accurate US tax history is a requirement before you move forward.

Your Green Card has lapsed – but your US filing obligation may not have

Your Green Card has lapsed – but your US filing obligation may not have

A Green Card document expiring doesn't end your US tax residency. If you've been abroad without formally ending your status, the filing obligation may still be open – for every year since.

Streamlined procedure

Streamlined procedure

If you missed prior years or filed without reporting foreign accounts, a CPA specializing in non-compliance cases will identify the gaps, determine the correct approach, and handle the submission end-to-end.

Foreign bank account reporting (FBAR)

Foreign bank account reporting (FBAR)

Bank accounts, pensions, and investment accounts held abroad need to be reported on FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) if the combined balance exceeds $10,000 at any point during the year. Prepared as part of your coordinated annual filing.

Tax planning

Tax planning

Guidance on the foreign tax credit, filing elections, and how life changes – a new property, a business interest, a move abroad – affect your obligations before they become a problem in your return.

FATCA reporting

FATCA reporting

Green Card holders with foreign assets above set thresholds must report them on Form 8938 under FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) – separate from, and in addition to, FBAR. We assess your exposure and file it alongside your return.

PFIC filing services

PFIC filing services

Foreign mutual funds, ETFs, pooled investments – and pensions such as a UK SIPP, Australian superannuation, or Canadian RRSP – may qualify as Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs), triggering Form 8621 reporting beyond a standard return.

Green Card relinquishment taxes

Green Card relinquishment taxes

If you're planning to formally relinquish your Green Card, your US tax filings generally need to be up to date first – including any outstanding tax returns and FBARs. We can help you become compliant and guide you through the entire process before you give up your Green Card.

FAQ about tax filing services for Green Card holders in the US

1. I just received my Green Card – when do I need to start filing?

From the year you receive your Green Card. If your card was issued in 2025, your first US return covers the 2025 tax year and is due in 2026 – regardless of whether you've relocated to the US yet.

2. Can TFX help Green Card holders with annual tax filing?

Yes. Annual Green Card holder tax filing is core to what we do – CPA-led preparation of your US return each year, including worldwide income and any required foreign reporting.

3. What documents do Green Card holders need to file taxes?

Typically your US and foreign income documents, details of any non-US bank, pension, or investment accounts, and last year's return if you have one.

4. Can TFX help Green Card holders living abroad?

Yes. Many of our clients are Green Card holders living outside the United States. We prepare US tax returns for Green Card holders worldwide, helping them take advantage of available exclusions, credits, deductions, and applicable tax treaty provisions where appropriate.

5. Does TFX help self-employed Green Card holders?

Yes. We handle self-employment income, foreign business interests, and the additional reporting that comes with them – all in one coordinated filing.

6. How long does Green Card holder tax preparation take?

Once you've completed your Tax Questionnaire and uploaded documents, a standard return is typically prepared within about 15 business days. More complex situations can take longer.

7. What if I missed previous tax filings as a Green Card holder?

That's a common situation, and it's often easier to resolve than people expect. We'll review your circumstances, explain your options, and help you catch up on any outstanding tax returns so you can get back into compliance.

8. Can TFX help with late tax returns?

Yes. If you're behind, we'll help you file late or prior-year returns and bring your US filings current – confidentially and without judgment.

9. My Green Card has expired but I never officially renounced it – do I still need to file?

Yes. A Green Card document expiring doesn't end your US tax residency. You remain a US permanent resident – and required to file annually – until you formally relinquish the card and receive written confirmation from USCIS.

10. Can Green Card holders receive ongoing CPA support?

Yes. We become your ongoing filing team, handling your green card holder tax return year after year and keeping you current.

11. How do I get started with TFX?
